- Which green manure can be sown in the hay in the fall for a mowing early next spring?

Last year I sowed a mixture of rye and vetch.

I also tried this because of the pigeons and I also burnt my cabbages that I had to transplant. Yet it was before the big heat! The wintering veil has probably a missed effect! In one day plus a cabbage !!

There must surely be tight mesh nets - rather than forcing sails - to protect against this type of insects, right?

Yes it exists but I did not have it at hand. However after all these episodes (in the order, pigeons, slugs, flea beetles and caterpillars, but for the latter very well controlled) my cabbage leave (except cramés! That are cooked), I could have cabbage from Milan and maybe Brussels. To have

So vetch, rye and alfalfa can be sown under hay in autumn. It remains to be found in good conditions. .... here Triskalia?

I don't know what you hear "under" the hay ... I did that on bare ground.
In the autumn apparently we can reserve ourselves as green manure in addition to those mentioned: phacelia, mustard and other legumes (clover, sainfoin ..) ...
I do not know triskalia. I had bought my green manure at Biaugerme (Lot et Garonne).

Under the hay because my boards are covered with hay very thin at the end of summer. Seedlings could enrich the hay after mowing in the spring with the addition of new hay before planting.
Triskalia is a cooperative agri-food Breton group that includes Cam, Coopagri .... and hundreds of members cooperators.
I know Biaugerme just in case, but in general I try to favor local organic producers when they exist.

if I do not have feed rye, I will try to get some winter wheat (it may be close enough as a plant) from local farmers

Good idea! Can I also try with the breeder who sells me the roundballs?

the mildew will soon point his nose, goodbye tomatoes
